THE Republican patty, in higher
capacity than q meeting in State con-
vention, and in a manner more bind
ing and practical than as State plat
form resolution. is not only committed
to the reduction of the duty on wool,
but responsible for its reduction. On
this subject the Sandusky Local says:
" 1t was a single vote which cast the
majority of the Uuited states Sea ate
on the side of reducing the wool itf
in 1888. The Senate was then Re-
publican body, as it still is, and John
sherman was the Senator who then
cast that single vote by which the
wool tariff was reduced. The reduc.
ton was recommended by Republi.
can Tariff Commission, and Arthur, a
Republican, was President aud signed
the law which made the reduction a
fixed fact. In the light of these facts,

TEE LouisvilleCour Journal says:

THE Louisville eCourier-J Journal says:
Six months ago the Republicans would
have had a fighting chance in some
parts of the South. Today they have
not the shadow of chance. They
have chosen to form on the old Sec
tional line of battle again. to resurrect
their old time villification of the
southern people, with the hope of re-
snkindIing in the North the partisan
bitterness of the war and reconstruc-
tion periods, and of thus securing
through the North their restoration to
mower. This plan contemplates no
assistance from the South except as a
butt for abuse, and In this the Repub'
ljcans will not be disappointed. So
long as the Republicans choose to
adopt such tactics SO long will the
seuth remain solid in opposition.
